HAZE
This is a poem I had written about my experience of depression and my love for nature, coming together in the colour blue.
HAZE
Blue are my bruises
Blue are my smiles
Blue are my shadows
Blue are my sighs
This place I know
I’ve been before
Where the hollow pulls
And the cold tear rolls
Some days soaring
High
The summer sky
Some days drowning
Deep
The empty sea
My mind is blank
Stuck
I’m frozen blue
Some days cutting
Quick
The mountain rocks
Some days fading
Off
The evening fog
Yet the river flows
And the young jay flies
This place I know
Will come and go
Blue are my fancies
Blue are my veins
Blue are my teases
Blue are my breaths

Midnight
60 seconds… 59 seconds… Time was slipping through his fingers, though he clawed at the falling grains of sand, he could not stop the hourglass from flowing. Around him, the silence was deafening. He had taken over every screen in the command centre, putting the terrible seconds before the terrified eyes of his friends and comrades.

Snacktime Sonata Challenge Winners
Well, your Snacktime Sonatas made us hungry, and that’s about the highest compliment we have. Food — taste, smell, sensation — is a powerful conduit to the past, to memories pleasurable and painful and sometimes bittersweet, a mixture of comfort and challenge. Congratulations to Penny Fuller for Sativa — it’s a first win for Penny — a hymn to the “secret, unbounded/freedoms” of fresh peas in the pod. The narrative voice of the poem doesn’t really want to be outside, but finds joy in the green things of the earth; this is a lovely work of resilience.
